EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the history of the Alexandra Orphanage on Maitland Park Road, Haverstock Hill, North London. Established in the late 19th century, the orphanage provided a home for children who were abandoned, orphaned, or in need of care and support. In this image, we see a group of children taking a walk with their carers, two prams in tow. The children, dressed in warm hats and coats, appear to be enjoying the fresh air and the simple pleasure of an outing. Their carers, dressed in the uniforms of the time, carefully navigate the steep hill and the uneven pavement, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their young charges. The Alexandra Orphanage was one of many such institutions that emerged during the Victorian era in response to the growing issue of poverty and the increasing number of children who were left destitute. While some children were admitted voluntarily, others were taken from workhouses or other institutions, often against their will. The orphanage provided a temporary respite from the harsh realities of life on the streets, and offered the children a chance at a better future. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history of child welfare in North London, and the important role that institutions like the Alexandra Orphanage played in providing care and support to vulnerable children. Today, the building that once housed the orphanage stands as a reminder of the past, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for compassion and care for children in need.
